Invisible Internet Project (I2P)

The I2P stands for “Invisible Internet Project.” It can be used to send messages, anonymous Web surfing, chatting, blogging and file transfers to each other securely.

The I2P network provides strong privacy protections for communication over the Internet. Many activities that would risk your privacy on the public Internet can be conducted anonymously inside I2P. I2P network protects the communication from dragnet surveillance and monitoring any kind of ISPs.

Once installed, you can open and run I2P via Ubuntu Dash or by using the following command:

$ i2prouter start

If you get an error and web browser doesn’t open, then simply run the address “http://localhost:7657″ in your browser’s URL.

Tor Browser

The Tor browser allows people to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. Tor is an effective tool to reach otherwise blocked Internet destinations or content. Individuals use Tor to keep websites from tracking them and their family members, or to connect to news sites, instant messaging services, or the like when these are blocked by their local Internet providers.

Tor’s hidden services let users publish web sites and other services without needing to reveal the location of the site. Individuals also use Tor for socially sensitive communication: chat rooms and web forums for rape and abuse survivors, or people with illnesses.
